DD started getting the mucus-y poops and she was pooping ALOT! Like I'd go through 4 diapers in a row because she'd just keep pooping. We asked the dr at her 2 week check up and were told it was the Cows milk protein sensitivity. We had to switch her to the special formula. Luckily she pooped while at the dr and they tested it right away to see if there was blood in her stool and there was minute amounts. she suggested keeping a couple diapers and putting them in a zip lock for testing just in case, so if you have an appt coming up you might want to do that.
I googled images of baby poop (yup i went there) to see what was normal and the mucus came up as not normal. It took 2 tries with formulas and one or two pretty hellacious days but she's better now. Our wallets on the other hand...not so great
So I haven't seen a thread or in fact looked for one regarding baby poop. If there is one please point me in the right direction and ignore this one.
So my question is this. LO poops constantly, way more then my first. I can't remember what DS looked like but DD has bright or dark yellow lumps in yellow mucus or clear fluid. Normal? Not normal?
She is gaining weight and seems happy as a clam so I'm probably overthinking it.
I FF too and my LO often has seedy yellow poop. The doctor was happy about that when I asked so I'm not stressing it. We had one day last week that freaked me out...the dr said we could try giving her regular infant formula instead of gentle...well apparently that didn't agree with her b/c she got all gassy and her poop turned green and runny. Dr also wasn't concerned about this; we just switched her back to the old formula. They told me that unless the poop is black or red, I'm ok.
baytosa2013 was your little one in bad form? My baby seems grand, she doesn't cry more then a normal newborn and seems quite content.
Nope she was a perfect angel. Ate and slept a fairly regular schedule, not really fussy at all. We had no clue anything was "off". I just happened to mention odd poops and ALOT of them and the Pediatrician immediately was like "ummm ok we need to test". She said we caught it early and had we let it go she would have expected a call in the next week or two from us because we would have started to see the blood in her stool. Apparently it's fairly common and most babies grow out of it by around a year old unless it ends up being a true allergy. Basically the proteins are too large for the baby's developing GI tract to process well.
